My name is Richa Jaswal I live in Macarthur heights a suburb in south west Sydney. I am a mum to two wonderful kids and our very loved first home. I work in public health sector and I am a certified yoga instructor.
I am passionate about home decor, food and travel all of which I got from my mum. I describe myself as bee in bonnet for when it comes to styling home, hosting friends and family, or planning a trip.
But today I will not write about any of these but rather something that I feel about myself at this point of life. It’s 4 months post partum today and I wanted to share how I feel about my body. I have loved every bit of it this time if not the first time I would say.
I am embracing more, I am loving it more and most of all I am living it all. Feeding the baby demands sitting, a good 6 hours if you are feeding at-least 8 times a day. So Although I am really not worried about weight up until I plan to breastfeed, I still go through moments of doubts trying to fit into anything else other than a oversized t shirt and maternity leggings.
I have to say that I do get syndromic about what to wear before every party if not before every time I go out. Is the dress buttoned or loose enough to make a way for my hungry baby? Do I really need to go through my wardrobe again to check what fits me, my mood and most important my over the top boobs. But when I look at this beautiful human that has come to this planet from me, all my doubts just fade away.
I say to my self I am his primary nutrition, he has grown in me and he will continue to grow from me at-least for a while. It’s all about how I feel at that moment rather than how I look and I feel great. This time I have to say I have a top shelve in my wardrobe full with what I can wear and go to every party without trying every outfit in my wardrobe just to tear through.
Thanks to my family, my friends and my husband for making me look good in every size and shape and being progressive enough to remind me of healthy eating rather than reminding me to loose inches. I took two years to get closer to my pre pregnancy weight with my first baby. I did not rush it at all and I still got there and that’s my advice to all new mums. Be gentle and kind to your bodies, and let it recover and heal both physically and emotionally. Believe me mums we will get there, but what’s important is not to over think about it now and accept the sassy fat cow that you have become for a while without worrying about what people have to say
